To all whom/it may/concern: j

Be it known that I, WALTER'E. HUENE- run), a citizen of the United States, residing at'Gincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon-Burners; and I do hereby declare .the following to be a full, clear, and exact vso construct a part of the combustion cham-' ber member as to aiiord an effective limiting device for the wick,

With this and other objects inyview, the, invention consists in certainnovel features of construction and combinations of parts the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional view of tliedevice with the parts in their normal, operative positions.

.Fig. 2 is a view 'showingthe'parts forming the combustion chamber in elevatedposi-l r tion;-Fig.-3 is a transverse sectional view on combustionlrchamber member upon the 1 wick tubemember. v a l representsthewickltube member and 2 the combustion chamberrfmember of the burner. The wick tube member comprises concentric tubes forming a wick cham- ;ber between them to recelve a W1clr5,"a

j"lperforatedlholder 6being provided for the v lowering means:

llatterto cooperate with suitableraising' and The'jouter wlcktube is provided at its pressed {flange or seat 7, andthe inner wick tube isprovided' at itsupper end with an inwardly 'projecting flange 8., from the inner I ashereinaii'tersetforth and pointedout in" upperend with an outwardly projecting de aspecificatioi ofietters Patent.

edge of which, a ring 9 projects upwardly.

From the upper edge of said ring, anannular flange or seat 10 projects inwardly and may be provided at its inner edge with a depending ribll.

The coii'ibiistion chamber member 2 comprises concentric foraminated shells 12-13 spaced i'rom each other to form a combustion chamberle between :them, which is in line withthewick, The shells'are inclosed by a casing 15 whichfisspaced from; the

outer shell 13 and is-open at its upper end, the lower end of said ea'sing being provided I with an Einwardlyprojecting perforated flange I16 The shells 1213 and casing 15 are Y secured rods l7.

- Theiower endof the shell 13is seated together means of cross- (when the partsf are in their normal work ing positions) upon the outer depressed 'I fiangeor seat 7 at the upper end of, the wick "tubeS; v The inner foraminaited shell 12 is provided at its upper endwith a perforated cap 18"a'nd at its lower end (which termia nates' I a short distance above the horizontal plane got-the lower end of the shell: 13) is provided with a perforated cap 19 which rests (new: its peripheral portion) up on the seat 10 at the upper end ottheinnerlwick tube 4. Thus it will be seen that the forami nated shells of the combustion chamber member are supported respectively, uponthe seats 7 and 10 of the wick tube member {with the combustion "chamber 14 immediately over and in directali'nement with the wick, and that'the weightmoi: the parts will insure the firm shells. I

seating of said 'foraminated The lowercap 19 is constructed I annular series of radial lugs or fingers 20 and the lower, end of the shell 12 is notched to accommodate said lugs or fingers,the

lugs21 formed by thus notching the-lower end of theshell being bent under theedge of thecap l9 and serving to retain the latter iriplace. QThe lugs or fingers- QOHenter the combustion chamber 14 and project asufficient distance across the lower portion of the same to be inline with the wick and constitute limiting means ilorthelatter. From this construction, it will beobserved that the wick limiting lugs or fingers are madeintegral with the lower cap of the inner shell 12 and that said lugs or fingers are there-1 fore Vertically movable With the combustionv chamber member away from and toward the ick, but'that When the burner .isin" operation, said limiting/devices maybe in more or less proxlmlty to the Wick ('accorda flame on the wick:
